The LX3 was one of the best point & shoots ever made, and Panasonic obviously isn’t messing with the formula. The LX5 is an LX3 on steroids, and that’s a good thing. The LX3 did low-light great, had a fantastic f/2.0 Leica lens, and was a great macro shooter.

If you need a great point & shoot right now, the Canon S90 simply can’t be beat at its current price, but the LX5 should be pretty sweet when it does come.
